Senior Technical Lead - FEA, ANSYS, Abaqus

Job Summary

• Multiple openings for CAE Analyst
• I positions across Crashworthiness, Body Strength, Interior Trim, Structural Durability, Fatigue, and Brake NVH domains.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform CAE simulations and analyses for vehicle crashworthiness, structural strength, durability, NVH, seating, and interior trim applications using tools such as LS-DYNA, Abaqus, Nastran, Hyper Mesh, and ANSA.

• Develop, prepare, and validate FE models, conduct safety and regulatory compliance assessments, investigate simulation results, identify root causes of performance issues, and recommend design improvements.

• Collaborate with design, testing, and customer teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions, support product development activities, correlate simulation results with physical tests, and enhance analysis efficiency through process improvements and scripting where applicable.

Skill Requirements

• CAE Analyst should have 4–10 years of experience with strong expertise in CAE simulation and analysis using tools such as LS-DYNA, ANSA, Hyper Mesh, Hyper Works, Abaqus, Nastran, Primer, Meta Post, FEMFAT, NCode, and FE-Safe.

• Candidates should possess hands-on experience in crashworthiness, body and seat strength, durability, fatigue, NVH, brake analysis, and automotive interior trim simulations, along with knowledge of safety regulations including FMVSS, NCAP, and related standards.

• Proficiency in model preparation, meshing, connections, result interpretation, physical test correlation, and design validation is essential.

• Exposure to automotive product development processes, scripting skills (Python, TCL, Java, RRAD scripts), material modeling, and problem-solving capabilities are desirable.

• Able to work effectively with design teams to develop solutions within defined deadlines and time constraints.

Other Requirements

• Strong communication, customer interaction, task coordination, and the ability to provide practical engineering recommendations within project timelines are also required.

• Ability to effectively communicate project progress, issues, and status updates to the team.
